If Dallas had a defense they would be dangerous!

Geeze what a pathetic showing.

Josh Norman needs an attitude adjustment!!

    The same can be said for the Redskins. That skins offense, specifically the passing offense, is darn good. Cousins has been great and his weapons of Jackson, Crowder, Garcon, Reed, Davis, etc. are really good. The Cowboys and Redskins both struggle with defense though. After this game I see the Cowboys winning the division, but the Redskins are a dangerous team with that offense, and they could make some noise here ending the season and maybe into the playoffs as a wild card.

    No elite offensive team out there right now has a shutdown Defense.

    D-man, you absolutely kill me dude.

    I just knew I was going to hop on here the day after Thanksgiving and see an "I'm so very thankful that my team is relevant once again" thread from you. Instead, Dallas would be formidable if the defense didn't suck. Ya do know that at no time in the history of the Pokes have they ever run off 10 straight, right? lol

    And why does Josh Norman need to adjust his attitude but Dez doesn't? For that matter, why do either of them need to change? Who doesn't fancy an everlasting fight within a game?

    Lastly, the Redskins have a potent offense. There should be zero shame in exiting a tight contest against them victoriously. A win is a win is a win in the NFL, my friend.

    Now, go scarf down some leftovers and hit us with a scintilla of positivity when you rouse from your tryptophan-induced coma. Your team is good.........time to rejoice!

    g27 - don't get me wrong....I am very thankful for the win....it's just nerve racking seeing the other team answer with a score every time we score. Give me some defense please. On the jawing between Dez and Norman......I just don't want to be hit with a 15 yarder!!!!

    don't blame Dallas, give credit to Washington.

    Weakness exposed. Pump fake, crossing pattern....nope. Step slow cornerback gets beat by a bomb. Watch for that in the playoffs. DIMEMAN should worry. Pete Carroll loves it.

    Pete Carroll will probably be watching from home....if he is there it will be in Big D and he will have his hands full trying to stop our offense. ;)

  • travis ttravis t Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭

    I absolutely expect Carroll to be stalking the sideline in Big D 2 weeks prior to Super Sunday, if not his own. I think there are many people who feel it would be a fantastic matchup, assuming all other things fall into place and allow this collision to occur. The best of the AFC would need to work extra hard to exceed the potential for either team.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The best in the AFC is NE....with Denver and Raiders next.

    All Dallas has to do to beat any of these is score first and answer every score and have the ball last! B)

    Jerry Jones could trade Elliott for a top defender and a couple of top draft picks. Couldn't anyone run behind that offensive line?

    I think that would be a mistake. The OL is great but Elliott is a rare and special talent. The same could have been said about the OL when E. Smith played, but Dallas wisely kept him. RBs like Elliott come along few and far between.

    I don't know where to start on this (Minn.) game.....so I won't.

    I'll just say you can't play any worse and STILL win!!!

  • BLUEJAYWAYBLUEJAYWAY Posts: 9,150 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Minn. didn't help their cause with a 5 yard penalty going for the 2 pt. conversion at the end of the game. Can't remember when I last saw that happen on a 2 pt. conversion try.

    Should have been another penalty on hit to Bradford's helmet that ref missed.

    That was insendental .......he was going for the ball. Besides they called plenty of holds that weren't!!!

    LOL. Any blow to the helmet on a QB is an automatic penalty. Ref simply missed it.

    Like the guy said.....it was a glance off the shoulder. All I can say is.....I wouldn't expect the call if it was my QB.

  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,694 ✭✭✭✭✭

    DM, it's a penalty, man. Your Cowboy bias is showing here. The ref's view was obstructed by the other arm which came down on Bradford's shoulder pad. It my have been incidental but it is still a penalty that would have been called had the ref seen it.

    Be what it may.....if the refs hadn't called the holds that weren't stopping our drives we would have had more points and this would be a moot point.

  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,694 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Lol, nice deflection, DM.

    If you are talking about that Monday Night game a couple of years ago...........not near the same. ;)

  • LotsoLuckLotsoLuck Posts: 3,786 ✭✭✭

    I am. But a win is a win :)
    After watching last nights game I realized the Cowboys wont make it past the Seahawks this year. I draw this conclusion based on the Vikings offense looking very much like the Hawks on a bad day and they still came close to a Win.
    Dallas has a O-Line to die for and the two rookies are a blast to watch, mmmm, not much else going on.
    Can't wait for the match up!

    Our biggest problem is "no pass rush", but We have some guys coming back and I think on a bad day we can still handle the Seahawks. Only time will tell.

  • VikingDudeVikingDude Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭

    I saw a picture (I can't find it now) and it showed the hit and the ref was not looking at Bradford but was looking downfield. The ref was on Bradford's left side.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The crazy thing about this game was that every time we (Dallas) failed to stop them on 3rd down I would hit the arm of my chair...........I need a new chair! But yet we only gave up 15 points! We should win ANY game where we only give up 15.

    And 6 of those were in the last minute of the game. GO COWBOYS!!!

  • travis ttravis t Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭

    Bradford's a crummy actor. If he had taken that hit and fallen down, they likely would have tossed the laundry at Dallas, then conferred for about 10 minutes before rendering the correct decision. So his fail cost NBC a ton of additional advertising revenue as well. Loser.

    If that was Cam Newton taking that hit, there would have been 20 press conferences about it already.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Bradford was a really good college QB.......not so much in the NFL. He gets the ball out quick which means nothing deep, but he is hard to sack getting the ball out between 1 and 2 seconds.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Sure would be nice if the Defense would show up against the Bucs. We are making them look good.
